The RT61 Driver is included in the official kernel-tree so you must only load the rt61 module using:

+

# modprobe rt61pci

−

Unpack this file somewhere and follow the Module/README install instructions: compile the sources with :

+

If you want to load the module at startup you can add it to MODULES=() in rc.conf like this:

−

$ make

+

−

and install them with:

+

MODULES=(... fuse '''rt61pci''' snd-via82xx ...)

−

# make install

+

−

load the rt61 module:

+

Some RT61 devices need to load the firmware (you can check it using the dmesg command) so you must install the rt2x00-rt61-fw package using:

−

# modprobe rt61

+

+

# pacman -S rt2x00-rt61-fw

The README file tells you how to configure the interface using iwconfig and iwlist commands. To set up the system to configure the interface at startup you can use the [http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?do_Details=1&ID=10514&O=0&L=0&C=0&K=rt61&SB=n&SO=a&PP=25&do_MyPackages=0&do_Orphans=0&SeB=nd| rt61-cvs AUR package] scripts from klixon.

This is currently not supported by legacy drivers [http://rt2x00.serialmonkey.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=4203 Serialmonkey Forum]. Solution is to compile new kernel with some patches and using patched hostapd for beacons. [http://rt2x00.serialmonkey.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=4582 Serialmonkey Again]

You can't set the mode to Master with iwconfig. However, hostapd will be able to do that. For more information see this tutorial: http://www.clearfoundation.com/component/option,com_kunena/Itemid,232/catid,40/func,view/id,21824/

There shouldn't be any need for patching or using experimental version anymore. The mentioned tutorial worked for me with the following official packages:
